It just needs to run to the battery... it is just an electric motor that you'd control with throttle position so that if you needed boost, it'd be there on command.

I don't think the low-current ignition system would have anything to do with it. It'd be a BIG electric motor, and big motors need big current.

It has already been done, but not by these eBay dorks selling crap for $99.95.

A real system would be just about as expensive as any other aftermarket forced induction.
